You could do a lot more than take a base with coordinated squadron efforts.
- A coordinated run of bombers and JABOs could hit all the strats against an enemy to basically shut down their offensive operations. Troops, ord, fuel, dar, strat factories, cities, HQ. You find yourself with no ords, no way to resup, 75% fuel and no DT"s, and are effectively blind, while strat factories are all under 50% effectiveness.
- Fighter squadrons could escort these bombers and attack planes, or be detailed to conduct fighter sweeps of an area and gain air superiority.
- Other fighter squadrons could be detailed as ready alert interceptors. Do whatever in-game until the call goes out about an enemy raid, attack, bomber mission..... they are automatically detailed to respond.
- The fact that for an evening you have a "Supreme Allied Commander" directing major operations (and hopefully avoiding micromanaging the squadrons beyond perhaps making missions, and letting his/her squadron XO handle the squad itself for a night.... so as to pay attention to his duties that night) can draw in additional unaffiliated or underrepresented squad members into those missions for a night.
One point: Having a SAC every night might be way too ambitious in the beginning. Might be better to call for SAC days/nights a few days each week, and avoid, maybe FSO, or other event nights.
Each SAC can work out his own system. Just posting missions, giving squadrons missions goals to accomplish on their own, post one at the top of every hour. Whatever.
Which again would effect the ENY because then the particular country that is getting hit, most would log/switch arenas, which does what kids?? That's right, raise the ENY.
Look I'm all for those who like the team work thing, hey, it's your money. But when doing something like this, just think about the outcome for the arena, not just those who participated in doing the "damage".
That's what a lot of people had against LCA was they did nothing but kill the fighter hangars, and ruined the fun for those who actually want to shoot something that actually shoots back.
P.S. Let me know when this is going on so me and my squaddies can go to another country or arena, so we can still have our fun :lol
